Here's why the lack of cancellations on broadcast television is historically significant.
For those of you who tuned in to our Fall Television Preview, you know how many broadcast networks were premiering new shows. After the bloodbath of 2013 - in which 5 show were cancelled by October 15th, everyone knew that ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and CW had a lot of work to do. And while a couple of shows are rumored for the chopping block, it seems that viewers have supported new shows in droves.
In fact, four weeks into the Fall television season, we're still waiting for our first cancellation. Why is that news significant? Consider that over the past 6 years prior to the current season, broadcast television had cancelled on average 3 shows by this time, or 18 total shows. Last year and 2011 experienced the highest cancellations with 5 each, while 2009 enjoyed 0 and 2010 had only 1.
So why the sudden love for broadcast television? Here are a couple of possibilities:

SPOILER ALERT!!!
Nearly three dozen concept art images from Star Wars: Episode VII have leaked online, giving us an intriguing look at what we’ll get to see in a galaxy far, far away.

These images come from an ImageShack account (via Superhero Movie News) and follow in the wake of the description of those different pieces of leaked concept art that was floating around the net just yesterday.

And while these are not in glorious HD, they do offer us some very tantalizing glimpses into those new Star Wars characters (especially Daisy Ridley’s), at landscapes and vehicles (TIE fighters, pod jumpers, landspeeder, pod bike, pod falcon, the Millennium Falcon), stormtroopers, Chewbacca, some lightsaber battles and what looks like Darth Vader’s severed head being held by Adam Driver’s big bad villain character, apparently called the Grave Robber.

"Grimm" is a drama series inspired by the classic Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tales. After Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) discovers he's descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as "Grimms," he increasingly finds his responsibilities as a detective at odds with his new responsibilities as a Grimm.

"Grimm" season 4 will premiere a week from now. And it's not like "Grimm" fans were left all these months to wonder what would happen in the fourth season — there were constant updates and spoilers to keep them yearning for what's ahead.

Season 4 will have a bunch of new things for fans. For one, the pilot episode is entitled "Thanks for the Memories." And for another, there will be new cast members joining the show. First is Toni Trucks who will play Deputy Janelle Farris. She will be a sheriff who will help Nick with the investigation of a highw…

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” will reportedly feature a female Robin, with actress Jena Malone rumored to be playing Carrie Kelly, according to a local news station in Detroit.

WILX-10 News station reporter Kirk Montgomery spoke with one of the extras at Michigan State University, where a scene involving Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) and Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) was being filmed this week.

“I’ve also learned that the character of Robin is now female,” he said alluding to the film’s top secret script.

Warner Bros. declined to comment.

Malone, who appeared in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” has been seen on the WB set and recent movie premieres sporting a new red hairdo.

Casting rumors for “Batman v Superman” have been in high demand since director Zack Snyder revealed the project at Comic-Con last year.

The anonymous extra who spoke to WILX faces a hefty fine of $5 million after signing a non-disclosure agreement with Warner Bros.
